CNPS North San Joaquin Valley Chapter
The North San Joaquin Valley chapter is one of 35 chapters of the California Native Plant Society. Our chapter spans the valley from Southern San Joaquin, Stanislaus and Merced counties.
Our chapter seeks to increase the understanding, appreciation, and conservation of California native plants and their natural habitats within the North San Joaquin Valley through horticultural gardens, field trips, education and outreach events.
